Delivering Courses Beyond Campus Walls: Off-Campus and Distance Education in Nebraska, 2008-2009
Nebraska's Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education
This report highlights distance delivery courses in Nebraska for the academic year 2008-2009. All six community colleges, the three state colleges, and the University of Nebraska campuses offer courses at distance (Table I). The data reflect all courses offered at a location other than a main campus or a branch campus. Overall, the number of courses offered at distance increased by 5.5% from 2007-08. All three sectors reported increases in 2008-09, although some institutions experienced declines. Some increases in course offerings are due to one credit workshops and other training opportunities that may be a response to the slow economy and the resulting demand for fast retraining by unemployed workers. (Contains 1 figure, 3 tables and 4 graphs.)
